Gustav Willeit’s Singular Geometrical Pictures

Gustav Willeit is an Italian freelance photographer that has been working between Italy and Switzerland since 2006. With this series called « bialla », the artist is offering unique images of parts of buildings facades, taken in various city of the world. From New Delhi to Kyoto, Berlin, Tokyo, Dubai, Shanghai and Venezia, he wanted to « accentuate the symmetry and modular geometry of the structures. While placing a game of shapes and colors in the foreground, he is able to deprive the buildings of their utilitarian residential function ». Gustav wanted to place a single human being at the intersection of the diagonals, « giving it a physical and symbolic centrality. The subject gives the impression to be a heroic inhabitant of an almost hostile world ».
